Late to the party but 40k in tools is not actually that bad. As a semi retired technician i can promise that i have much more than that. After 45 years of wrenching and buying quality tools it adds up. I do have my box(s) very well organized. Not each tool in its own foam cut out, would need alot more storage, but a place for every tool. Thank you for this dream garage brother. I do have quite a few Milwaukee M12 and M18 tools.
I would venture to say that people who can afford a build like this and have the means to purchase all of these tools, have others complete the mechanical and menial tasks many of us must execute ourselves. Just my intuition.
I don’t think you’re wrong however, I think it’s just like the car washing. In all honesty it makes more sense for me to have someone wash my cars every week then to take the several hours and do it myself. I find it a great way to let myself melt and meditate. I think there are still plenty of people out there who are high earners but grew up working with their hands or started by working with their hands or just derive satisfaction from being able to do things themselves, and then ofcourse on the flip side of that are the people who just want to have it so they can tell the people in their life.
I find it fascinating that anyone would not want something like this if you have an interest in cars. I've chased my whole life to able to make choices that didn't involve consideration around money. Fly first class or coach, order whatever you want from the menu, get any car you want, send your kids to school and just write the check... These are all things I find valuable and am willing to make the sacrifice to get it. I want the choice to work on my own cars...or not. If I'm going to work on something, it sure would be nice to have amazing tools to do it. But...I still have the choice. When you've had the success you don't have the baggage of worrying about justifying any longer. You just make the choice without judgement.
You're not wrong but there are a lot of people, myself included, that do not wrench or work on cars to save money. We do it because we love it. Now, in order to achieve that for me I take no joy in detailing or wrenching on a crappy mini or economy car. Give me something interesting and I'll spend days happily
It's amazing the entire business that you have built. One thing you should speak about is YOUR ability to take action in life. I think alot of us can learn from that.
Thx for including the cost matt.. Much appreciated.. That garage is absolutely a dream ...wow... Good job too all that had a hand in designing/installation /planning etc...
The batteries to me are an area where an OG spec charging wall with 6 to 8 of the high amp hour packs ready to go in their chargers at all times makes more sense than rarely used batteries resting in their tools going flat.
@@ObsessedGarage I primarily buy Milwaukee tools but just purchased a Dremel 20V max compact saw yesterday to test out for a project. Weird that the instructions actually recommend not leaving the lithium battery attached due to fired hazard.
@@DJ_Driven And also it is recommended to not store long term fully charged lithium ion batteries. It's fine if you use them on a weekly basis, but having 50 packs charged all the time will probably degrade them since you won't use them. It's a recommandation, so do whatever is best for you.
@@TerrificFlow I store my Milwaukee and DeWalt battery packs with their protective plastic contact covers in my packouts until I'm ready to use at the customer site.
Lithium Ion batteries are best kept in the 50-80% range. Fully charging and discharging is what takes a toll on them. The other real problem causing thing is heat. The more often they heat up, the more wear and tear. The magic of having the funds the buy a complete set like this is that you can game the Milwaukee packages to get a battery for each tool without a ton of extra cost.
Incredible, Matt! You can see all of the passion you’ve put into OG come out in this project! Hope we get to see it when it is populated with cars as well!
I think this is awesome, and I can't help but see a future where Matt has a further perfected solution. Filling in the empty spaces in the drawers, and ironing out the nuances of the milwaukee kits will make this even better as time goes on. I have some sonic cabinets on the way and I couldn't be more excited to dig into them.
I’ve watched this complete series and love how it has all come together. However, for me you have lost me at Sonic tools. Call me a tool snob, but I will always go for Snap-On tools over anything else for my hand and air tools. Using tools as part of my job over the years and when I had to buy my own tools, I always bought Snap-On. Even now when I don’t need to have my own tool set and tool box for my job, I still buy Snap-on tools and tool boxes.
Love the organization and design, love Matty, but where the tools are located in the cabinets clearly shows it has been done by someone who is not a mechanic. A 72” wide top drawer full of screwdrivers? On top??? Mechanics most used tools: top drawer-sockets & extensions, next drawer down- ratcheting wrenches, next drawer- hex/torx/reverse torx bits. 4th drawer-pliers/ knipex pliers wrenches/ diagonal cutters/ hose clamp pliers/ hose removal pliers/ Swedish pipe wrenches/ vise grips. Although still necessary, even ratchet handles have fallen out of favor with the advent of 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2” impact guns and battery ratchets. Still love what you do Matty, it never ends. He who dies with the best toys wins!
It was the combo of tools inserts and how they fit. I like screw drivers on the top, because I use them on both vehicles and around the garage/house most often.
Love the series the only “gripe” I’d have is from the contractors angle a 3rd of the batteries is still more than ever needed. Incredible though and having 60 isn’t the worst problem in the world lolol
I really hope this garage gets used and isn't just a collection to share with buddies drinking beer in the garage....... Be cool to fast forward a year and see the work that's come out of this garage
Do you have a map of what’s in what cabinet? I just imagine trying to find the one thing you need to finish a project and spending an hour trying to find it
@@ObsessedGarage Yeah what do we know, maybe you’re right, idk I’m not Financial Advisor and I don’t have one, but if I did… I’d fire him after advice like this! Soon you’ll need to hire someone just to charge your batteries on tools you never even use! Sorry Matt I love your attention to detail & videos. I’ve been watching you since very beginning But I don’t agree with your take on batteries
@@MrXyemoe See, that’s the beauty of all this. YOU don’t have to agree. You can choose for yourself NOT to have a battery for each tool. On that same token, though, some choose to have a battery for each tool AND have a few extra. There’s nothing wrong with either path, one is not wrong or right. You don’t have to agree or approve or understand. It’s all good.
I'm telling you man. I've climbed the ladder from trailer park to where I am today. Spending $3000 to have a battery for every tool when you make/have lots of money is simply a choice with very little meaning. If you are make something like $75K or even $150K/yr, it may not be smart to do that.
Looks like it’s going to be a awesome setup, it’s definitely a lot of work. I’m liking my swisstrax but ended up going newage on cabinets. Just can’t afford sonic right now but plan to go that route down the road. Sonic is about the only one that offers most tools to go with there cabinets which would solve some of my OCD problems 😂
Those Sonic boxes are cool and all but they really need to come out with small drawers for storing miscellaneous small tools & accessories or it's just wasted space. I can sense your struggles trying to fill these voids lol
FOLLOW UP to the comment Man ... how stupid can you posibly be to buy 3 milwaukee cutting disks for 1k dollars? And then... you tell me that you were doing investing, dealing with investing stuff... honestly ...you are dumb ITS either ... there is a cheaper and a better quality solution or you are just dumb to do and buy all of these things ... its crazy ... its crazy dumb. The only thing that is worth it in this video is the sonic tool collection... its really well put together
Staying hopeful for another garage giveaway just to have my garage set up by OG would be awesome. my latest set up or v.3 is about to be redone for v.4 because I use it as a hang out space and tinkering hobby space
Just an idea with that many tools might be tricky finding some, what if U " numbered the draws" and set up an iPad or something on the wall were U can search the tool or type of tool you want and the iPad will give you a location of the tool.
Trolls … most of us can discern from what we “need” versus what we “want”. If you’re complaining about stuff like “why waste money on tools you’ll never use”, you have completely missed the point. I’m afraid you’ll never understand. Why buy season tickets if you don’t use them all? Why pay for cable if you don’t watch it that often? Why buy a 75” TV? …… how about, stop being a hater and just appreciate another’s success? You know, you don’t HAVE to be jealous/envious. It doesn’t effect you. For me, a $500 garage chair is utterly ridiculous. That doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the value (real or imagined). Same here, no I’m not going to spend anywhere near this on tools but I still see the value and convenience. Not to mention it just looks killer. It’s just my humble opinion, but maybe spending more time with your family may help reduce the hate?
@@peterjohnson8631 No. I didn’t say that, you’re assuming. I said I see the value in the tools and the convenience of having ones you don’t use but may one day need. It goes along with what I said previously. Why do people buy trading cards or paintings or even rare vintage tools? If you’re sole focus is on why this guy spent gobs of money on something you’d never use … like I said, you’ve missed the entire point.
Another amazing video Matt and everyone at OG! Love this series! Quick question, moving from UK to Vietnam next year and building a new home. Would it be possible for you guys to design and construct a build over there for me if I was your client? At a point in my life where it’s time for a proper man cave and the future wife is up for it too 😊
I think Im missing something, is this obsessed garage, garage? Or a customer's? But it is better to have than need and not have. I'm a wood worker. If I had the money I'd have every tool there is maybe two of some. How many times I say I wish I had that knowing I most likely would only use it that one time or maybe because I have it, all the time. BIG QUESTION WHERE IS THE WELDER??
would sonic custom-make a foam tool inlay. let's say your are an autobody person who wants to store his body hammers so they are protected? would sonic do that or could you come up with a design?
I don't get the idea of a battery per tool. For tools you'll almost never get, that's 45 batteries you'll have to keep charged. While you could have 4 batteries on 4 chargers and use them on everything
If you could afford all those tools upfront for personal use, it actually would be cheaper to hire someone else to fix your stuff. I bet 95% of that stuff will go unused.
when you are a maniac, you prefer to do it yourself! because it's a pleasure ! and you know the job are done correctly ! most of the garages do not take care of customers cars! scratch , bumps, the work is not done but still invoiced ect.....
Why can't you do both? It's like saying, "You will never use 99% of your money." So...I should just not have the money because I'm not going to "use" it.
@@ObsessedGarage wrong analogy that doesn’t apply here. For one Money can always be exchanged for something else immediately or it can be handed down, gifted etc . These 40k in unpackaged tools? Not so. It would even take you a while to get rid of them at 75% off right now.
Okay that’s impressive but why, the guy paid somebody else build his own garage and there’s nothing wrong with that but The guy is obviously focusing on what makes him money rather than build in his own garage this is highly unlikely to use the tools
Think about it this way. You want to build a garage. You have the means to ask the guy that eats, sleeps, and breathes garage to come to your garage project and build it. Who wouldn't want to do that?

Late to the party but 40k in tools is not actually that bad. As a semi retired technician i can promise that i have much more than that.
After 45 years of wrenching and buying quality tools it adds up.
I do have my box(s) very well organized. Not each tool in its own foam cut out, would need alot more storage, but a place for every tool.
Thank you for this dream garage brother.
I do have quite a few Milwaukee M12 and M18 tools.
Seeing the excitement on Matt’s face as he realizes the scale of everything that it took to get to this point is the best part. Too cool.
I would venture to say that people who can afford a build like this and have the means to purchase all of these tools, have others complete the mechanical and menial tasks many of us must execute ourselves. Just my intuition.

I find it fascinating that anyone would not want something like this if you have an interest in cars. I've chased my whole life to able to make choices that didn't involve consideration around money.

And now those staff or team members can do the work in a quality space and great tools.

“So where do you draw the line? I say you don’t. You just keep going.” This Matty quote would like nice as a douche banner on a OG HQ wall.

Hope you have a Band saw on the list, they come in handy. Nevermind you got it covered matt
Love it all Matt but why u need 40+ batteries when you only have 2 hands at one time?
I thought I explained that. It's so all of my tools have a battery in them and are available at any time.

It’s actually not best to leave the batteries in the tools.

Just the Drill bits are a flex Hahaha!
Those shockwave bits are $18 a piece
Tool grid needs a 1/4 bit holder and a plastic clip holder that’s press fit for metal rod like things (screwdrivers, drill bits, picks)
You're right Matty. It's not rational.
Those Sonic boxes are cool and all but they really need to come out with small drawers for storing miscellaneous small tools & accessories or it's just wasted space. I can sense your struggles trying to fill these voids lol
Why not place all the sockets on the top long drawer
For the low low price of 200k dollars you can have a beautifull collection of man toys that you will never use... CONGRATULATIONS !!!

when you have so much money and will never use half of the shit in that garage
Better than buing a $80k Chandelier or $120k "work of art" consisting of a banana duct-taped to a wall.
